The '''Wicked Gods''' were originally featured in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' manga, these cards formed the evil counterparts of the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]]. They share the Hierarchy System with their [[Counterparts]] (e.g., among the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]] "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" and "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" were Hierarchy 1, while "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" was Hierarchy 2), with [[The Wicked Avatar]] higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the "[[Divine]]" traits with the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]].  
+
Yako spent some time 'testing' the cards, including his first Duel against Yugi; he also possessed his brother, [[Gekko Tenma]], to test "[[The Wicked Dreadroot (manga)|The Wicked Dreadroot]]". Yako also revived [[Keith Howard (manga)|Keith Howard]] and presented him with "[[The Wicked Eraser (manga)|The Wicked Eraser]]" to use in his Deck; Yako himself also used both "The Wicked Avatar" and "The Wicked Dreadroot" at the same time against [[Seto Kaiba (manga)|Seto Kaiba]], and during his final battle against Yugi, Yako used both "The Wicked Eraser" and "The Wicked Avatar" in quick succession.
  
−
* [[The Wicked Dreadroot]] - Appears to be a counterpart of [[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]].  He looks human shaped with wings like Obelisk and the same [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] as Obelisk too.
+
The Wicked God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, and are stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cards in line; the Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able to revive Keith Howard using the cards, and they were a major component of Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus by linking [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu Mazaki]] to the Gods and using "The Wicked Avatar" as a medium. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the "Avatar" using an enhanced "[[Obelisk The Progenitor]]".  
−
* [[The Wicked Eraser]] - Appears to be a counterpart of [[Slifer the Sky Dragon]].  He looks like a dragon, just like Slifer. He also shares a similar ATK-gaining effect.
 
−
* [[The Wicked Avatar]] - Appears to be a counterpart of [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]].  He looks like Ra's sealed orb form.

One key difference that must be noted, however, is that these are intended as the '''opposites''' of the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]]. Hence, while both are "[[Divine]]", the kanji is placed against the [[LIGHT]]-[[attribute]] symbol for the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]], but against the [[DARK]]-[[attribute]] coloration for the Wicked God Cards. In order to avoid a repetition of the unplayability issue which surrounds the [[DIVINE]]/[[Divine-Beast]]-[[Type]] [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]], however, Konami has made the "real world" cards [[DARK]]/[[Fiend]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monsters]].
+
Unlike the Egyptian God cards, the Wicked Gods were at least produced in duplicates, as both Gekko and Yako possessed one copy of "The Wicked Dreadroot" each, while Keith and Yako both possessed one copy of "The Wicked Eraser" each; this makes "The Wicked Avatar" the only Wicked God to be unique, specifically to Yako. Both Yako and Gekko tore up their copies after their final defeats; Keith is not seen destroying his copy of "The Wicked Eraser", but during his duel against [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Katsuya Jonouchi]] he would constantly complain that "Eraser" doesn't fit with his Machine deck and heavily implies that he only uses it because Yako has forced him to.
−
In the manga, [[The Wicked Avatar]]'s form changes into a dark version of whatever monster's stats it's copying plus 1 [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] point.

====Comparison to the Egyptian Gods====

===Strategy===
+
In the manga, these cards were [[Divine-Beast|God]]-[[Type]]; they were released as [[DARK]] [[Fiend]]-Type monsters in the ''TCG''/''OCG''. Their manga versions share the [[Hierarchy]] System with their counterparts (e.g., among the Egyptian Gods "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" and "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (original)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" were Hierarchy 1, while "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" was Hierarchy 2), with "The Wicked Avatar" higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the Divine traits with the Egyptian Gods. Like the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, the Wicked Avatar (who is at the top) cannot be destroyed by the other two gods, as well as being invincible against "Obelisk" and "Slifer". Unlike the "Egyptian Gods" or "[[Sacred Beast]]s", there is no combined form of the "Wicked Gods".
−
The Wicked Gods themselves possess high-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the game in your favour, but they are considerably harder to get out than their [[Sacred Beasts|Sacred Beast]] Counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not special summons. They also require 3 tributes each and cannot be used with [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]. Thus, monsters who survive battles, ones with high def, or those who you can special summon/summon multiple copies of in a single turn should be used, or monsters that can not be destroyed by battle. Double Coston, while being neither of these, counts as two tributes, which is excellent as it reduces the Gods back down to two tributers. Ideally you should use it when you can summon more than once in a single turn, such as with [[Double Summon]] or [[Ultimate Offering]], and have at least one other monster to tribute. Monsters that summon multiple copies of themselves, such as [[Nimble Momonga]] and [[Hyena]], are also good. Cards that summon tributable tokens and Trap monsters are especially useful, as the former can rapidly generate tribute fodder while the latter can be used as both a surprise defense and as readily accessible tribute fodder (this is even more useful if you have Double Coston and Double Summon, as the two cards can be used in conjunction with an already-set trap monster to instantly bring out the Wicked God).
 
  
−
The Wicked Gods themselves lack spell and trap protection, thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a lot of monster removal. Royal Decree can help, as Wicked Gods tend to be somewhat attack oriented and it would be devastating to run into Sakuretsu Armor, Mirror Force, or Magic Cylinder. However, Royal Decree will prevent you from using Trap Monsters. In a pinch, however, you can use [[Interdimensional Matter Transporter]] to momentarily save a Wicked God from destruction.
+
* "[[The Wicked Dreadroot]]": It is a winged humanoid giant akin to "Obelisk the Tormentor" and they share the same [[ATK]] and [[DEF]]. Its effects are also the reverse of that of "Obelisk". The effect of "Obelisk" that Tributes the controller's own monsters to destroy the opponent's, while the effect of "Dreadroot" affects all other monsters and instead lowers their ATK.
 +
* "[[The Wicked Eraser]]": It is a twin-mouthed dragon, just like "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (in the manga, both appear to have no hind limbs). It also has effects that are the reverse of that of "Slifer", while "Slifer" gains points for every card in its controller's hand, "Eraser," gains points for every card on the opponent's field (a trait which leads Seto Kaiba to insult it in the manga). In addition, the destruction effect of "Slifer" activates only when another monster is added to (the opponent's side of) to the field, and only targets a single monster, whereas the destruction effect of "Eraser" activates when it is destroyed and destroys all cards on the field.
 +
* "[[The Wicked Avatar]]":  It closely resembles "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]". The effect of "Avatar" is the reverse of the effect of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", which has several effects to gain ATK, while "Avatar" only has one, where the ATK of this card was only one point higher than the strongest monster, and "Ra" used all but one of your Life Points for its effect, as well as gaining ATK by sacrificing monsters (including its Tributes) in the anime and manga (both were changed to 100 for the TCG/OCG). In other words, "Ra" needs monsters and Life Points sacrificed to be stronger, whereas "Avatar" needs monsters alive to be stronger.
  
−
As mentioned before, Wicked Gods themselves are attack oriented (The Wicked Eraser being an exception). Since they already have exorbitant attacks, [[Big Bang Shot]] and [[Fairy Meteor Crush]] can help to inflict massive damage. They are also excellent candidates for cards such as [[Twin Swords of Flashing Light - Tryce]] and [[Shooting Star Bow - Ceal]], as their atks will be sufficiently high enough to not be hampered by the attack loss. Be aware of The Wicked Avatar's effect: it's stats are based on the highest ATK on the field, not DEF. Thus do not run into random face-down monsters unless you have a reasonably high ATK, as their destruction will not be ensured otherwise.

The Wicked Eraser is designed to punish the opponent for swarming and setting cards, gaining [[ATK]] for each card under their control, and wiping the field if it's destroyed. This is especially effective against Crystal Beasts, Zombies, and any other deck that requires either massive field presence or swarming. If your opponent does not like to swarm, [[Ojama Trio]], [[Nightmare Archfiends]], and any other cards that summon monsters to your opponent's field or causes them to set many cards. Gilasaurus is particularly good for this, as three of them can give you exactly the amount for this card's summoning, as well as giving your opponent 3 monsters, at least 3000 attack for Eraser. Inferno Reckless Summon can do the same.

As you are likely to exhaust many resources with the summoning of one God, Pot of Avarice might be a good choice. This can be especially deadly combined with Nimble Momonga and any other searcher monsters, as their effects makes the drawback of deck thickening almost nonexistent. The Wicked Gods themselves cannot be special summoned, so this is a good way to recycle them back into the deck without having to use a dedicated card for the job.
+
==Playing style==
 +
The "Wicked Gods" themselves possess nigh-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the game in your favor, but they are considerably harder to get out than their "Sacred Beasts" counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not Special Summons. They also require 3 Tributes each and cannot be used with "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]". Thus, monsters who survive battles, ones with high DEF, or those who you can Special Summon/Summon multiple copies of in a single turn should be used, or monsters that can not be destroyed by battle.
  
−
Another version of this deck is to use your opponents cards against them. This version of the deck is very devastating as you can summon all of the [[Wicked Gods]] using your opponent's monsters. It has one main lockdown combo combining The Wicked Dreadroot and The Wicked Avatar along with [[Stealth Bird]]s and [[Yata-Garasu]].
+
With the exception of "[[The Wicked Avatar]]", the Wicked Gods themselves lack Spell and Trap protection, and thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a lot of monster removal. "[[March of the Monarchs]]" and "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]" can help.
  
−
Yet another version of this deck is to integrate the swarming effect of Zombies to make summoning the Wicked Gods even faster. With [[Double Coston]] as a 4-star Zombie that can benefit from [[Mezuki]] and [[Zombie Master]]'s revival effects, you can summon fast, hit hard, and protect your Wicked God from being destroyed by Synchro Summoning [[Stardust Dragon]].
+
"The Wicked Eraser" is designed to punish the opponent for swarming and setting cards, gaining [[ATK]] for each card under their control, and wiping the field if it's destroyed.
  
−
Special Summon 3 [[Hero Kid]] from your deck with [[Reinforce Truth]] for an easy tribute summon.
+
[[Premium Pack 2021]] released support cards designed to aid in the Summoning of the Wicked Gods. "[[Angel O1]]" can be Special Summoned by revealing a Level 7 or higher monster in the hand, and also allows an extra Normal Summon/Set, while "[[Tellus the Little Angel]]" can quickly Summon multiple Tokens to aid in the Summoning of the Gods. "[[Divine Evolution]]" can be used with the three Wicked Gods in addition to [[Divine-Beast]] monsters, providing them with additional ATK and preventing their effects from being negated.
  
−
===Deck Suggestions===
+
The Wicked Gods benefit from some [[Egyptian God]] support cards. "[[Reactor Slime]]" can be used to search and activate "[[Metal Reflect Slime]]" during the player's turn, allowing them to summon "[[Egyptian God Slime]]", which can be treated as 3 Tributes to Tribute Summon a Wicked God.

The Wicked Gods (邪（じゃ）神（しん） Jashin, lit. "Evil God"), also known as either the Evil Gods or Jashin in the English VIZ translation of Yu-Gi-Oh! R, are a series of Level 10 DARK Fiend monsters who were originally featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga; these cards formed the dark counterparts of the Egyptian God Cards.

Several other cards include Jashin in their Japanese names (such as "Nuvia the Wicked" and "Malevolent Catastrophe"), but they are unrelated to these cards.

Appearances

Yu-Gi-Oh! R

In Yu-Gi-Oh! R, these cards are revealed to have been designed by Maximillion J. Pegasus in secret some time after creating the God cards. He made the rudimentary designs for the three cards in an attempt to keep the Egyptian Gods in check, but feared their immense power, and never completed their production. Like their Egyptian God counterparts, the cards were never released to the public.

Yako Tenma later completed the cards based on what Pegasus left behind, and named them the "Wicked Gods", and used them to enact revenge on Yugi Mutou for the death of Pegasus. Once he touched "The Wicked Avatar", the card possessed him, damaging his mind and feeding that desire for revenge to the exclusion of all else; in addition to "Avatar" possessing Yako, it allowed Yako to possess others, such as his brother, Gekko.

Yako spent some time 'testing' the cards, including his first Duel against Yugi; he also possessed his brother, Gekko Tenma, to test "The Wicked Dreadroot". Yako also revived Keith Howard and presented him with "The Wicked Eraser" to use in his Deck; Yako himself also used both "The Wicked Avatar" and "The Wicked Dreadroot" at the same time against Seto Kaiba, and during his final battle against Yugi, Yako used both "The Wicked Eraser" and "The Wicked Avatar" in quick succession.

The Wicked God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, and are stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cards in line; the Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able to revive Keith Howard using the cards, and they were a major component of Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus by linking Anzu Mazaki to the Gods and using "The Wicked Avatar" as a medium. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the "Avatar" using an enhanced "Obelisk The Progenitor".

Unlike the Egyptian God cards, the Wicked Gods were at least produced in duplicates, as both Gekko and Yako possessed one copy of "The Wicked Dreadroot" each, while Keith and Yako both possessed one copy of "The Wicked Eraser" each; this makes "The Wicked Avatar" the only Wicked God to be unique, specifically to Yako. Both Yako and Gekko tore up their copies after their final defeats; Keith is not seen destroying his copy of "The Wicked Eraser", but during his duel against Katsuya Jonouchi he would constantly complain that "Eraser" doesn't fit with his Machine deck and heavily implies that he only uses it because Yako has forced him to.

Comparison to the Egyptian Gods

In the manga, these cards were God-Type; they were released as DARK Fiend-Type monsters in the TCG/OCG. Their manga versions share the Hierarchy System with their counterparts (e.g., among the Egyptian Gods "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon" were Hierarchy 1, while "The Winged Dragon of Ra" was Hierarchy 2), with "The Wicked Avatar" higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the Divine traits with the Egyptian Gods. Like the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, the Wicked Avatar (who is at the top) cannot be destroyed by the other two gods, as well as being invincible against "Obelisk" and "Slifer". Unlike the "Egyptian Gods" or "Sacred Beasts", there is no combined form of the "Wicked Gods".

  • "The Wicked Dreadroot": It is a winged humanoid giant akin to "Obelisk the Tormentor" and they share the same ATK and DEF. Its effects are also the reverse of that of "Obelisk". The effect of "Obelisk" that Tributes the controller's own monsters to destroy the opponent's, while the effect of "Dreadroot" affects all other monsters and instead lowers their ATK.
  • "The Wicked Eraser": It is a twin-mouthed dragon, just like "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (in the manga, both appear to have no hind limbs). It also has effects that are the reverse of that of "Slifer", while "Slifer" gains points for every card in its controller's hand, "Eraser," gains points for every card on the opponent's field (a trait which leads Seto Kaiba to insult it in the manga). In addition, the destruction effect of "Slifer" activates only when another monster is added to (the opponent's side of) to the field, and only targets a single monster, whereas the destruction effect of "Eraser" activates when it is destroyed and destroys all cards on the field.
  • "The Wicked Avatar": It closely resembles "The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode". The effect of "Avatar" is the reverse of the effect of "The Winged Dragon of Ra", which has several effects to gain ATK, while "Avatar" only has one, where the ATK of this card was only one point higher than the strongest monster, and "Ra" used all but one of your Life Points for its effect, as well as gaining ATK by sacrificing monsters (including its Tributes) in the anime and manga (both were changed to 100 for the TCG/OCG). In other words, "Ra" needs monsters and Life Points sacrificed to be stronger, whereas "Avatar" needs monsters alive to be stronger.

Playing style

The "Wicked Gods" themselves possess nigh-unstoppable effects that can easily turn the game in your favor, but they are considerably harder to get out than their "Sacred Beasts" counterparts. While each God does have rather simpler summoning requirements, they are not Special Summons. They also require 3 Tributes each and cannot be used with "Mausoleum of the Emperor". Thus, monsters who survive battles, ones with high DEF, or those who you can Special Summon/Summon multiple copies of in a single turn should be used, or monsters that can not be destroyed by battle.

With the exception of "The Wicked Avatar", the Wicked Gods themselves lack Spell and Trap protection, and thus are quite a bit more vulnerable when used against an opponent who uses a lot of monster removal. "March of the Monarchs" and "Mound of the Bound Creator" can help.

"The Wicked Eraser" is designed to punish the opponent for swarming and setting cards, gaining ATK for each card under their control, and wiping the field if it's destroyed.

Premium Pack 2021 released support cards designed to aid in the Summoning of the Wicked Gods. "Angel O1" can be Special Summoned by revealing a Level 7 or higher monster in the hand, and also allows an extra Normal Summon/Set, while "Tellus the Little Angel" can quickly Summon multiple Tokens to aid in the Summoning of the Gods. "Divine Evolution" can be used with the three Wicked Gods in addition to Divine-Beast monsters, providing them with additional ATK and preventing their effects from being negated.

The Wicked Gods benefit from some Egyptian God support cards. "Reactor Slime" can be used to search and activate "Metal Reflect Slime" during the player's turn, allowing them to summon "Egyptian God Slime", which can be treated as 3 Tributes to Tribute Summon a Wicked God.
